Instructions
Prepare the Sauce
- Using a mandoline, or carefully with a knife, slice garlic cloves thinly.
- Heat olive oil in a sauté pan over medium high heat, add garlic and sauté 1 to 2 minutes until slightly translucent. Add shallots to the pan and cook an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently so the garlic doesn't burn.
- Carefully pour white wine into the pan. Add canned diced tomatoes with sauce, salt, red pepper, and fresh basil to the pan. Let simmer for 5 minutes on high until reduced.
Cook the Pasta
- Set water to boil in a large sauce pot. Once water comes to a rapid boil, add pasta and cook 7 to 8 minutes until al dente.
- Drain pasta well and sauté pasta with the sauce.
